Something happened last week….?

Yes, it is true! Something happened… LAST WEEK?. And I didn’t blog about it!!? Some of you who know our family well are wondering how in the world I missed it or if I had completely lost my mind. Truth be told, I didn’t! ? Due to travels on the birthday girl’s part, we came to the conclusion the blog post would have to be postponed until she returned home for a fresh new photoshoot. So at long last… ?DRUM ROLL PLEASE?!!! Today we are (officially) celebrating a very special birthday on the blog…. ✨Cue Confetti pull out virtual streamers✨ Happy Birthday LYDIA!! ?? Y’all, how gorgeous and classy is she?!? I had so much fun taking her pictures!! This birthday beauty has a million dollar smile, glimmer in her eye and adds a sparkle to my life. So excited to be sharing a little about her with you all today! ✨? Lydia is kind, longsuffering, patient, and yet down-to-earth and necessarily honest! She will tell it like it is in the most compassionate way possible.? Besides being the best person to talk to when you need good honest advice, Lydia is a master in the kitchen[her pies and cakes take the prize?], meticulous house cleaner, hardest of workers, and queen Origami maker[wish I had a picture?]! ? She’s the type of girl that’s not afraid of getting her hands dirty when necessary which tends to be more often than not these days.? Happiest of birthday’s Lydia!! ? You have blessed and encouraged me these 24 years and I thank the Lord for you. May the day’s ahead be filled to overflowing with the richest of blessings as you continue to faithfully serve the Lord wherever He calls you! Y’all know the rules, don’t leave until you have left the Birthday girl a birthday comment below!! ??❤️

“May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, And fulfill all your purpose.”
Psalm 20:4

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”
2 Peter 3:18

About Rachel

"Come now, and let us reason together," says the Lord, "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword"; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken." Isaiah 1:18-20

  4. Happy birthday, Lydia! I love the sweet retro look of your dress and hair style. My favorite picture is the one of you sitting on the steps in front of the turquoise door (the one on the left). It has a thoughtful and pensive quality, with a hint of mystery. (Even though you might really have been thinking of nothing in particular.) ;-)

  7. LOVED traveling with you over your birthday weekend!!! So enjoyable:):):). VERY nice work, Rachel! Most beautiful dramatic pictures yet, Lydia! when you were just a few days old the LORD impressed me to compliment you, calling you “a very friendly baby” and He, as always, has proved to be very right! You are a gifted friend to your household and all you meet! Many blessings from the Father of lights and may He bless you with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm!!!
